“Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas” written by Dr. Antonio de Morga, annotated by José Rizal with a prologue by Dr. Ferdinand Blumentritt, was published by Rizal himself in Paris in January 1890, considering it important for the propaganda activities which atthe time he directed, and in order to set the record straight regarding the cultural conditions obtaining among his countrymen, on the arrival of the Spanish adventurers in the Philippine Islands. Rizal clearly states in his dedicatory remarks, the purpose whichinspired him in undertaking the writing of this book, as follows:
“In my 'NOLI ME TANGERE' I commenced to sketch the present conditions obtaining in our country. The effect produced by my efforts gave | me to understand — before proceeding to develop before your eyes other successive scenes — that it is necessary to first lay bare the past, in order the better to judge the present and to survey the road trodden during three centuries”
“If the work succeeds in arousing in yourselves the realization of our Past, erased from the memory, and in rectifying what has been falsified and slandered, then my efforts shall not have been in vain. With this as a basis, however small it may be, we can all proceed to studying the future.”
